Summer Begins!

Summer time fun is endless around here. The season of water play & campfires. Two of my favorite things. Life just gets pretty easy in the summer, it seems like everyone's occupied with their favorite activities. 

My dad offered  his boat to us for the summer. We have it moored at Darlings resort on Siltcoos Lake. It's so close to our house the boys ride their bikes there and fish off the dock... And buy candy at the little store. 

Jake is busy giving tours again this summer.

Spencer in his natural habitat. No one else has entered the water yet, it has some warming up to do for some of us. Tres and I call Spencer our polar bear cub or our Mer-baby.

A moment of sweetness and silliness. 

Stella came over on the last day of school and we had a campfire. The best way to kick the summer break off. 

Raspberries are very happy and producing quite a bit! I think they love the acid from the fir needles. 

We all went to Cutter's graduation. He's so grown up now. It felt good to be there supporting him.

Serious anglers here! In their element.
